Can a seller, that owns a property outright, seller finance a property, and still get the tax benefit of a 1031 exchange?

If they are going to exchange it, then I would generally assume they are more willing to do so for something in return.

Meriden has 26 exchange prefixes in the 203 and 475 area codes.

I'm not exactly positive how that marriage would occur, but maybe there is a way for you to exchange work in order to gain some valuable knowledge all while making great contact(s).

Ive considered doing a 1031 exchange on the property as well as a HELOC or unsecured line of credit among other things.

One thing to add that is complicating things - I'm considering using that property at some point to do a 1031 exchange.

You are likely expected to bring a crew to move the stuff out unless the people are there and they are capable of getting their stuff out.I would also try and offer the person a few $$ in exchange for getting their stuff out and leaving the house empty and in broom swept condition.

A portion of each payment is allocated to return of principle, gain and interest.Most importantly you will recapture all depreciation in the year of your installment sale.Didja know know that in the event that you found yourself needing to do a 1031 there is a way to combine a 1031 exchange with an owner carry note? 

My goal in the next year is to move from single families to the multi-family space, and then quickly to the commercial apartment space.If you're willing to chat, meetup for a drink, or let me know about other meetups in the area (San Francisco/East Bay), then hopefully we can meet and exchange information, build partnerships/friendships, and build towards our financial freedom.Cheers.

Also the margin may be thin but if any local South Jersey Wholesalers would be interested in partnering I would do all the work in exchange for some guidance.The deal:Guy owes 60,000 on a twin that is in good rental condition and could rent for between 1100-1300.
